Border Patrol on the Rio Grande Bordered by Smuggling Concerns
Major Lemuel B. Schofield, head of the immigration and naturalization service, told a congressional committee that the border patrol along the Rio Grande has the alien smuggling situation “pretty well in hand.” He said patrols between ports of entry prevent smuggling and surreptitious entries, though full perfect inspection is impossible with current resources. The committee discussed funding, noting the service seeks a $3.44 million deficiency appropriation to augment regular funds.

Predicts State Receipts High
SANTA FE New Mexico March 10 A prediction that all future months of 1941 will exceed the collections for comparable months in 1940 was paired today with a statement by director G E Carter attributing a late 1940 slump to decreased oil activity and not slow collections during a political campaign year. He said field auditors were instructed to minimize activities in October and November and focus only on emergent matters. Oil declines stemmed from Lea county standstill and reduced Eddy county activity and lower drill prices. December saw vacations and holiday desires reduce collections. October school tax receipts were 5724.21, November 10938.58, December 0.56? compared with January 24907.41 and February 30730.67 for 1941.
